Review summary

Time in Bermuda is TOO short (arrive mid-afternoon and then depart late mid-afternoon the following day.... not much exploring time when you factor in time for meals and sleep). Would have been much better if we had a FULL DAY in Bermuda instead of 2 small pieces of a day.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Easy until they encountered computer difficulties

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was excellent; buffet was hectic but good food with many choices

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Weather was not accommodating; did not use fitness center or rock climbing (no interest there for us)

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Musicians were so-so but the Stage shows were quite good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very professional, friendly, and attentive

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It is an older ship; artwork and decor could use some updating BUT overall the ship was lovely and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Adequate size; bunk beds NOT suitable for adults (rickety/fragile ladder to climb up into them and the loveseat does not convert to a bed (as we had erroneously expected ... as we had booked the cabin for 3 adults). Was advised afterward that we needed to book a Suite in order to get a sofa bed.
